They're of course the same thing, I just found the mental model of dragging forward to be simpler (in either model you still have a special case for the end of a line). I may have had someone point this out to me, I learned EMACS in 1980 and half my professional work in the '80s was on various UNIX and LISP versions of EMACS.
And it adds to your editing toolkit, you can not only transpose two characters, you can also drag one a few positions forward, which for the way I (mis)type is useful ^_^.
